Limbaugh: ‘Practically Every’ School Shooter ‘Inspired’ by Leftism

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh insisted on Monday that “practically every” school shooter has been “inspired” by left-leaning ideologies. He also asserted that the press loses interest in covering school shooters once they learn that they have not been inspired or motivated by right-wing ideology.

“It’s another kid admittedly inspired by socialists. Inspired by what he’s heard about the inequities of our society,” Limbaugh said of the teenage shooter who attacked Arapahoe High School last week.

“The media doesn’t want you to know this, but practically every one of these young kids shooting up schools is inspired by something to do with leftism, socialism, what have you,” he continued. “Every one of them is.”

“When they can’t tie them to the tea party, you don’t hear about them anymore,” Limbaugh concluded. “You hear about the mental health problem . What mental health problem? Liberalism, guaran-damn-teed, is what’s causing this.”
